HONEY In KANSAS.
Avery Impfobable Story.
Don't Have to Bore to Get Honey
in Kansas.

A California friend writes a very
improbable story of honey find in
California, to the Emporia Republican.
The editor is not outdone in proAigate
wit, even if Kansas reputation becomes
little shakey for the sake Of an argu-
ment. He says:
On Bee creek in Kansas resides q
man who years ago duilt large two
story house with a large and commodi-
Gus attic. Through a crevise near
the roof which the carpenters left (csr-
penrers always leave such places the
bees entered. The attic was given up
to them. it first: however, being ar
ranged 50 as to cause the flow of honey
to a certain point in the floor where a
pipe was fastened, leading to the
kitchen below. Into this pipe some
thing like molasses faucet was insert
ed. The bees filled the attic with honey
and it was necessary to vacate the second
story, it first being arranged similar to
the attic. Addition after addition has
been built until acres of ground are
covered with buildings filled with honey.
You don't have to bore two weeks
to get honey in Kansas.
All you have to no is to step up
to faucet and draw it, It is clear
and nice, unmixed with sanb, Aeas and
red ants, like California honey. 1t
sells where the California cannot be
given away.

President Strong in his annual report
on thursday had the following to say of
the Santa Fe's coal properties: sThe
transportation of coal over the com
pany's lines has still further increased
during the past year, although no Goa!
was mined during the year Except
such as was taken out in starting en-
tries) from the Cherokee and Pittsburg
company's mines. Two mines have
been opened on this company's prop
erty on the north eastern area, machin-
cry purchased, chutes and other build
ings erected, and other necessary work
done at total cost to December 81,
1886, of $219,90S 3S. Twenty com
Portable tenements have been erected
near the mines, all of which are rented
to persons in the employ Of the COM
pany. The recent and prospective in
crease of the mileage of the Atchison' S
auxiliary lines In Kansas, which must
depend on this field for fuel for oper-
ating and for commercial business, will
necessitate the immediate opening of
two more mines, and very large and
fairly remnuerative business, promises
to be at the command ofjthe company.

Judge Adams Secretary of the State
Historical society, has received letter
from Colonel VIM. A. Phillips, regarding
the theory that there were once diamond
fields in Kansas. The Colonel says:
Il once saw an account of the ''Dia-
mond Fields of Kansas. There is an old
Spanish map of portion of Kansas, in
which dotted area is marked as this
diamond field. OF course it varied lit
tie from our maps, but seemed to lie in
the head of the Cottonwood, Lyon, Gyp.
som and Holland creeks, and along that
portion of the Santa Fe road in that re-
gion. The district was shaped like an
egg, but drawn out longer to the eastern
end, and some twenty miles wide and at
least twice as long. It seems that parties
from the City of Mexico, during the first
seventy-five years of European settle
ment, made frequent expeditions to this
diamond field, and claimed to have found
diamonds. l never had much time to
spend in that region, but looked and
picked about there on several occasions
many years ago, but l do not know that !
would recognize diamond should find
One.'

Kansas Prosperity.

The general belief prevails that the
present will be the best crop year in the
history Of Kansas.
So far, the season has been partic-
ularly favorable, The ground is in
good condition and grain Of all kinds
that has been planted is doing finely.
If, added to the general prosperity
now prevalent, Kansas should have an
unusually good season for crops, the
advancement that the state would d.
rectiy make would be without q prece-
dent in the history Of the nation.
Kansas was never in I better condi-
ton to stand an adverse season than
now, but should she be favored in this
matter, the possibilities for her immedi-
ate growth in wealth and population
are limitless.

Corn was selling Nav LIST, last year, at
35t cents; to-day it is 374 cents, with
394 to AZ cents bid for June, July and
August delivery The stock Of corn in
this country is evidently much below
what it was at this date last year
probably two hundred million bushels
less. The great demand for hog pro-
ducts, at excessive high prices, will
cause very large inroads upon the stock
of corn in hand, beforefa new crop can
come in, if it does not wipe it out en-
tirely. This viii leave spretty clear
field for the present years. CROP. 1T
is idle to attempt to prediet What the
amount Of that crop win be. From our
correspondents, We Judge that the area
planted viii be in excess Of last year.
Should the crop prove ! poer one gem
orally, very high prices would necess-
arly result, unless there changes % BE
so great an increase IN hog cholera,
and so few young hogs produced, that
the corn can not be fed. There 10,
therefore, nothing discouraging IN the
outlook for the present year as respects
the corn crop, and growers have every
inducement to battle with weeds, and
give the best workings" possible

Good culture of young forestry plant
ing pays as well as does thorough cul-
tiyation of the corn crop. "A few sugar
maple trausplanted on the farm are
treasures when they grow Old. In
planting an orchard for raising fruit to
sell set out a very few kinds of the
very best selling varieties. If there
are only few apple trees that are thor
oughly tried and proven true in your
locality, plant mainly Of those few,
rather than select great variety for
home use, of trees of double hardness
"A clump Of trees in the corner OF
field, or in the bend Of a creek, takes
some of the plainness out OF farm
scenery, and keeps the sun from bear,
ing down SO hard on the fy-pestered
cows. 80. Excellent care should be
taken of raspberry, strawberry and
current paintings. The numberless
fruit and forest trees being planted on
the plains will stand as monuments OF
the faith the present generation have
in making homes in the once so-called
"Great American Desert. y 80. The
boys and girls should be taught to care
for small fruits. This usually can best
be done before they are expected to
perform the work of grown persons.
They will often take an interest in
raising crop of strawberrys if they
are given some "extra' privileges with
the ripe fruit. The next thing in
troduced into the course of study in
our country schools should be the sub
ject of plant growth. Not the old
fashioned high-school descriptive bot
any merely, but those things that
would teach pupils to observe the growth
and physiology, as well as the structure
of plants. Students from agricultural
colleges usually know how to make
pupils interested in these things, and
should be sought after by Directors Of
country schools. .. Generally speak
ing, the older tree gets, the less it is
adapted to being transplanted. Many
farmers insist upon their giving three
or four-year-old trees, The nursery
man often do this, because the trees
are not salable to those who have learn
ed to know better. Life is short, but
the young trees will make as quick
returns, and be thriftier and longer
lived as we'll as very much easier to
successfully transplanted. %. Young
men who are starting on new farms, or
are starting anew on old poorly-improv-
ed farms, should not neglect to plant
trees. They protect the crops, give
shelter to man and beast; they furnish
much needed timber, and handy fuel:
they beautify and ornament the home,
and make the very home associations
more sweet.

TREE PLANTING ON THE
PLAINS.

In no portion Of our country is tree
planting more generally practiced than
in those states that lie between the
Mississippi river and the Rocky noun
tains. The prairie settlers found but
little timber, and that confined to the
borders Of the streams. They began to
plant trees first apparently for protection
against the strong winds, and afterwards
for fuel and other purposes. In most
cases the cottonwood (Populus angulata)
was the favorite for shelter belts, while
willows are to be seen in many places.
Although much has been said BY writer's
on forestry against the cottonwood, yet
I regard it - one Of the best of the
pioneer trees. As has been shown by
experience, it will thrive upon the open
plain when many q better tree would
make but little growth, or die outright.
Its quick growth enables the settler to
supply himself in short time with
fuel, not the best by any means, but
still a fuel worth having.
But the day Of cottonwood is short:
it is like the human pioneer; its work
is done, and then is must give place to
a better growth. After the cottonwood
has shaded the ground, and kept the
winds from sweeping the surface, the
maple, the walnut, the catalpa, and the
ash find no difficulty in obtaining foot
hold, often indeed, the silver maple
(Acerdasycar pun and the box elder
(Negundo acceroides,) arc planted sue
cessfully almost as soon as the cotton
wood, and serve, like it, furnish fuel,
and to prepare the soil for other trees.
Evidently, the elm, ash, walnut and
catalpa are the species to be most album
buntly planted for fuel and timber.
The hard maple (Acer saccharinum,)
must wait until the soil and air have
been much modified before it can be
successfully planted. So, too, with oaks
the chestnut and the beech. Of ever
greens, the Scotch and Austrian pines
may be made to grow with little difficulty
after the pioneer trees have accomplish
ed their ameliorating work.-Prof. Chas.
E: Bessey, in American Agriculturist.

An industry that is gradually gain
ing ground in Kingman, Reno, Harper
and adjoining counties, is cotton raising.
We understand q gin will be placed in
Reno this spring, and cotton enough
to run it will be raised. It can be
planted in May and picked in August
or September. Cotton is more prof
table than grain, nicer to handle and
easier to raise. Experts in Alabama
and Mississippi pronounced specimen
Of Kingman county cotton, sent them
for examination to be frst-class. At
the Worlds Cotton exposition held at
New Orleans few years ago, bale of
Kansas cotton took the first prize as
the best at the exposition.

FOOD ADULTERATION.

An investigation by the Department
of Agriculture into food adulteration
shows that it Is carried on to an enor-
nous extent. The greatest amount Of
adulteration seems to be in condiments
This is a quotation from the report
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture; "Of twenty samples of ground
cloves examined only two were pure.
the others had suffered extraction of
essential oils and had been polluted by
the addition of Glove stems, all-spice
and husks of various kinds. Of eight
samples of cayenne pepper only one was
pure. Of ten samples of mustard none
were pure, unchanged mustard, though
several had only suffered the loss of
their fixed oils; the others contained
quantities of wheat -four, the spurious
matter being in some cases two-thirds
of the compound. This made it neces-
sary to add tumeric acid (harmless) to
restore the mustard color Ten samples
OF allsp!ce were examined, eight of
which were pure. Only one out of
thirteen samples of black pepper. was
found what it was purported to be. A
specimen sent from Boston to man
who had an army contract was almost
entirely spurious. Cayenne pepper,
black pepper, husks and mustard ball
were used to give flavor and pungency,
while body was supplied by ground
beans and rice and colored with char
coal. Two samples of white pepper
out of five were pure, and three samples
of nutmeg examined all were pure.
If the fruits of our production and
integrity of our business methods are
an index Of the moral character of our
nation, the prospect is not propitious
one. With scientists, telling us that it
is not safe to drink, water. the temper
ance people telling us that it is not safe
to drink stimultnts, and the Offices of
the United States Government telling
US that food is not safe to eat because
it is adulterated and poisoned the people
are certainly in a bad box.-Finney

ABOUT KANSAS.

One year ago, when it was believed
by those who have watched the move
ments of Kansas for many years that
we would likely have dry season. 9th
ers claimed that the Kansas of today is
no longer the Kansas of years ago that
she had been educated to higher phase
and would no longer exhibit those Pc
culiarities of character which belonged
to her In her wild untutored state. Our
experience however with her this sea-
son demonstrates the fallacy of that
position and corroborates the the princi-
pie which is Of universal application that
education cannot destroy individuality.
1t cannot create anything either good
or bad, but can only bring into promi-
nence and efficiency that which already
exists for good, and suppress and keep
in subsection that which would other
wise exist for evil. That popularity of
temperament, those qualities which are
born in the individual, can meyer be
wholly obliterated by education; neither
indeed ought thery to be. The man of
marked individuality is the mau Of force
and power. I once heard it said that
the world was divided into three parts.
The animal kingdom, the vegetable
kingdom and the Beecher family. No
family in America so impressed the age
in which 1t lived politically and relig-
iously as the Beecher family. They
were not always right; but they always
created sensation They had the rare
faculty of impressing people-of saying
and doing things different from what
any one expected. Kansas is kind Of
Beecher, family In the agricultural
world. We have the north and the south
the east. and the west, and the Kansas
family. She delights in surprises.
just when you expect rain she fills
heaven and earth with a cloud of dust;
and when you say the crops are all gone
beyond redemption she gets up show
er, and there is general resurrection
from the dead. She persists in having
her own way in dong about as she
pleases, regardless of our efforts to train
her into subsection. She says to us like
the young wife says to her refractory
husband: "You knew me before you
married me. $50 Kansas says to us:
'Take me as I am, or forever hold
your peace.
In my brief acquaintance with her,
L remember on several occasions, when
many of her adopted sons and daughters
left her, and shaking the dust off their
feet in very disgust, they slammed the
door behind them. Yet, these same un-
faithful children, in time came back
clothed in "sack cloth and ashes,'' and
begged to be made even as hired serv-
ants In the great household. Such is
Kansas. Oh, thou clustering, beistrous
Kansas, thou child of the dessert, with
all thy faults l love the STILL Martin

Broom corn has proven profitable
crop in Kansas wherever tried, and we
would suggest that our farmers give
this important crop some attention.
Last season, which was not good one
for any kind Of crops, gentleman in
this section raised a considerable
amount Of as good brush as we have
ever seen, We urge some of our far
mcrs to devote some land to the raising
Of broom corn. It will pay, as it
